Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of circuit breaker component assembly equipment, and in particular to a double-metal feeding device with automatic adjustment. Background Technology
[0002] Circuit breakers are commonly used switching devices in daily life. Bimetallic strips are an important component of circuit breakers, and their main function is to protect the circuit and prevent overload or short circuit. When the current in the circuit is too large, the bimetallic strip will bend due to heat, thereby triggering the protection mechanism, disconnecting the circuit, and preventing equipment damage or fire hazards. During the assembly of bimetallic strips, it is necessary not only to ensure that the bimetallic elements are accurately positioned, but also to pay attention to the front and back of the bimetallic elements. If the bimetallic elements are installed backwards, they may not be able to be stably soldered or used later. However, the existing bimetallic loading devices cannot screen the front and back of the bimetallic strips, which leads to a high defect rate in the subsequent assembly process or requires a lot of manual intervention, increasing labor costs. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention provides a highly automated double-metal feeding device capable of accurately adjusting the position of double-metal components.
[0004] The technical solution of this utility model: An automatically adjustable double-metal feeding device, comprising a device base, a transmission device connected to the device base, an adjustment device connected to the device base, a clamping device connected to the device base, and a controller. The transmission device includes a rotary vibrating feed plate connected to the device base, a first transmission track connected to the rotary vibrating feed plate, a second transmission track connected to the device base, a first flat vibrating motor connected to the first transmission track, and a second flat vibrating motor connected to the second transmission track. The adjustment device includes a CCD vision inspection instrument connected to the device base, a first connecting frame connected to the device base, a first sliding base slidably connected to the first connecting frame, a second sliding base slidably connected to the first sliding base, a connecting base movably connected to the second sliding base, an electric clamping claw connected to the connecting base, and a device for driving the first sliding base to move along the X-axis. The device comprises a first hydraulic cylinder, a second hydraulic cylinder for driving a second sliding base to slide along the Y-axis, and a first rotary motor for driving a connecting base to rotate. The direction of movement of the first sliding base is parallel to the central axis direction of the first and second transmission tracks. The clamping device includes a second connecting frame connected to the equipment base, a third sliding base slidably connected to the second connecting frame, a fourth sliding base slidably connected to the third sliding base, a suction head element connected to the fourth sliding base, a connecting pipe connected to the suction head element, a suction pump connected to the connecting pipe, a third hydraulic cylinder for driving the third sliding base to slide horizontally, and a fourth hydraulic cylinder for driving the fourth sliding base to move vertically. The controller is electrically connected to the first hydraulic cylinder, the second hydraulic cylinder, the third hydraulic cylinder, the fourth hydraulic cylinder, the first rotary motor, the suction pump, and the CCD vision inspection instrument.
[0005] Using the above technical solution, firstly, the dual-metal component to be processed is fed into the first transmission track via a rotating vibrating feeder. When it moves to the end of the first transmission track, a CCD vision monitor detects whether the upward-facing face of the dual-metal component is correct. If the orientation is correct, the controller controls the second hydraulic cylinder to slide the second sliding base towards the first transmission track. Then, an electric clamping jaw clamps the dual-metal component. Next, the controller controls the second hydraulic cylinder to reset the second sliding base. Then, the controller controls the first hydraulic cylinder to slide the first sliding base a certain distance, aligning the electric clamping jaw with the end of the second transmission track, and placing the dual-metal component into the second transmission track. If the upward-facing face of the dual-metal component is incorrect, the CCD vision monitor... The instrument sends an electrical signal to the controller, which first controls the electric clamping jaws to grip the bimetallic component. Then, the controller controls the first rotary motor to rotate the connecting base 180 degrees, so that the correct side of the bimetallic component faces upward. The bimetallic component is then placed into the second transmission track, and the second transverse motor transmits the bimetallic component to the other end of the second transmission track. Then, the third and fourth hydraulic cylinders drive the third and fourth sliding bases to move, so that the suction head component moves to directly above the end of the second transmission track. The suction pump provides suction to the suction head component, sucking up the bimetallic component and transferring it to the subsequent processing station. This not only ensures the automated and efficient feeding of bimetallic components, but also automatically completes the adjustment of bimetallic components, thereby improving the product qualification rate.
[0006] Further features of this invention: The clamping device further includes a material distribution block slidably connected to the equipment base and a fifth hydraulic cylinder for driving the material distribution block to move. The material distribution block is provided with a limiting groove, which is adapted to the shape and size of the bimetallic component to be processed. When the material distribution block is in the initial state, the limiting groove corresponds to the end position of the second transmission track. After the material distribution block moves a certain distance, the material distribution block is located directly below the suction head component. The controller is electrically connected to the fifth hydraulic cylinder.
[0007] Using the above technical solution, when the bimetallic element moves to the end of the second transmission track, the bimetallic element enters the limiting groove of the material distribution block. Then, the controller controls the fifth hydraulic cylinder to drive the material distribution block to move a certain distance in the horizontal direction, so that the material distribution block is located directly below the suction head element. At the same time, the outer wall of the material distribution block blocks the end of the second transmission track, which can ensure that the bimetallic component can be fed stably and accurately.
[0008] A further feature of this invention is that a touch sensor is provided on the inner wall of the limiting groove, and the touch sensor is electrically connected to the controller.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, since the inner wall of the limiting groove is equipped with a touch sensor, when the bimetallic component is accurately positioned, the touch sensor touches the bimetallic element and sends an electrical signal to the controller. The controller then controls the fifth hydraulic cylinder to start working and complete the material distribution. This can further improve the feeding accuracy of the bimetallic element, avoid equipment failure, and improve processing precision.
[0010] A further feature of this invention is that the first connecting frame is provided with a first limiting baffle and a second limiting baffle. When the first sliding base contacts the first limiting baffle and the second limiting baffle respectively, the position of the electric clamping claw corresponds to the end of the first transmission track and the end of the second transmission track respectively.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, when the first sliding base contacts the first limiting baffle and the second limiting baffle respectively, the position of the electric clamping claw corresponds to the end of the first transmission track and the end of the second transmission track respectively. Therefore, it can be ensured that the electric clamping claw can accurately clamp the double metal component of the first transmission track into the second transmission track, ensuring accurate feeding of the double metal component.

Detailed Implementation
[0015] like Figure 1-2As shown, an automatically adjustable double-metal feeding device includes a base 1, a transmission device 2 connected to the base 1, an adjustment device 3 connected to the base 1, a clamping device 4 connected to the base 1, and a controller 5. The transmission device 2 includes a rotary vibrating feed plate 6 connected to the base 1, a first transmission track 7 connected to the rotary vibrating feed plate 6, a second transmission track 8 connected to the base 1, a first vibrating motor 9 connected to the first transmission track 7, and a second vibrating motor 10 connected to the second transmission track 8. The adjustment device 3 includes a CCD vision inspection instrument 11 connected to the base 1, a first connecting frame 12 connected to the base 1, a first sliding base 13 slidably connected to the first connecting frame 12, a second sliding base 14 slidably connected to the first sliding base 13, a connecting base 15 movably connected to the second sliding base 14, an electric clamping jaw 16 connected to the connecting base 15, a first hydraulic cylinder 17 for driving the first sliding base 13 to move along the X-axis, and a controller 5. The device includes a second hydraulic cylinder 18 for driving the second sliding base 14 to slide along the Y-axis and a first rotary motor 33 for driving the connecting base 15 to rotate. The movement direction of the first sliding base 13 is parallel to the central axis direction of the first transmission track 7 and the second transmission track 8. The clamping device 4 includes a second connecting frame 19 connected to the equipment base 1, a third sliding base 20 slidably connected to the second connecting frame 19, a fourth sliding base 21 slidably connected to the third sliding base 20, a suction head element 22 connected to the fourth sliding base 21, a connecting pipe 23 connected to the suction head element 22, a suction pump 24 connected to the connecting pipe 23, a third hydraulic cylinder 25 for driving the third sliding base 20 to slide in the horizontal direction, and a fourth hydraulic cylinder 26 for driving the fourth sliding base 21 to move in the vertical direction. The controller 5 is electrically connected to the first hydraulic cylinder 17, the second hydraulic cylinder 18, the third hydraulic cylinder 25, the fourth hydraulic cylinder 26, the first rotary motor 33, the suction pump 24, and the CCD vision inspection instrument 11.
[0016] First, the bimetallic component to be processed is fed into the first transfer track 7 via a rotating vibrating feeder 6. When it reaches the end of the first transfer track 7, a CCD vision monitor detects whether the upward-facing face of the bimetallic component is correct. If the orientation is correct, the controller 5 controls the second hydraulic cylinder 18 to slide the second sliding base 14 towards the first transfer track 7. Then, the electric clamping jaws 16 clamp the bimetallic component. The controller 5 then controls the second hydraulic cylinder 18 to reset the second sliding base 14. The controller 5 then controls the first hydraulic cylinder 17 to slide the first sliding base 13 a certain distance, aligning the electric clamping jaws 16 with the end of the second transfer track 8, and placing the bimetallic component into the second transfer track 8. If the upward-facing face of the bimetallic component is incorrect, the CCD vision monitor sends a signal to the controller 5. An electrical signal is emitted, and the controller 5 first controls the electric clamping jaws 16 to clamp the double metal component. Then, the controller 5 controls the first rotary motor 33 to rotate the connecting base 15 180 degrees, so that the correct side of the double metal component faces upward. Then, the double metal component is placed into the second transmission track 8, and the second transverse motor 10 transmits the double metal component to the other end of the second transmission track 8. Then, the third hydraulic cylinder 25 and the fourth hydraulic cylinder 26 drive the third sliding base 20 and the fourth sliding base 21 to move, so that the suction head component 22 moves to the top of the end of the second transmission track 8. The suction pump 24 provides suction to the suction head component 22, and the double metal component is sucked up and transferred to the subsequent processing station. This not only ensures the automated and efficient feeding of the double metal component, but also automatically completes the adjustment of the double metal component, which improves the product qualification rate.
[0017] The clamping device 4 further includes a material distribution block 27 slidably connected to the equipment base 1 and a fifth hydraulic cylinder 28 for driving the material distribution block 27. The material distribution block 27 is provided with a limiting groove 29, which is adapted to the shape and size of the bimetallic component to be processed. When the material distribution block 27 is in the initial state, the limiting groove 29 corresponds to the end position of the second transmission track 8. After the material distribution block 27 moves a certain distance, it is located directly below the suction head element 22. The controller 5 is electrically connected to the fifth hydraulic cylinder 28. When the bimetallic component moves to the end of the second transmission track 8, it enters the limiting groove 29 of the material distribution block 27. Then, the controller 5 controls the fifth hydraulic cylinder 28 to drive the material distribution block 27 to move a certain distance in the horizontal direction, so that the material distribution block 27 is located directly below the suction head element 22. At the same time, the outer wall of the material distribution block 27 blocks the end of the second transmission track 8, which ensures that the bimetallic component can be fed stably and accurately.
[0018] The inner wall of the limiting groove 29 is provided with a touch sensor 30, which is electrically connected to the controller 5.
[0019] Since the inner wall of the limiting groove 29 is equipped with a touch sensor 30, when the bimetallic component is accurately positioned, the touch sensor 30 touches the bimetallic component and sends an electrical signal to the controller 5. The controller 5 controls the fifth hydraulic cylinder 28 to start working and complete the material distribution. This can further improve the feeding accuracy of the bimetallic component, avoid equipment failure, and improve processing precision.
[0020] The first connecting frame 12 is provided with a first limiting baffle 31 and a second limiting baffle 32. When the first sliding base 13 contacts the first limiting baffle 31 and the second limiting baffle 32 respectively, the position of the electric clamping claw 16 corresponds to the end of the first transmission track 7 and the end of the second transmission track 8 respectively.
[0021] Since the electric clamping claw 16 is positioned at the end of the first transmission track 7 and the end of the second transmission track 8 respectively when the first sliding base 13 contacts the first limiting baffle 31 and the second limiting baffle 32 respectively, it can be ensured that the electric clamping claw 16 can accurately clamp the double metal component of the first transmission track 7 into the second transmission track 8, thus ensuring accurate feeding of the double metal component.
